Assistant/Associate/Full Professor, Program Director, West Chester Family Medicine Residency
Founded in 1819, the University of Cincinnati ranks among the nation's best urban public research universities. Home to more than 53,600 students, 12,000 faculty and staff, and over 360,000 living alumni, UC, a Carnegie 1 institution, combines research prowess with a physical setting The New York Times has called "the most ambitious campus design program in the country." UC's momentum has never been stronger as the anchor of the Cincinnati Innovation District, the oldest cooperative education (co-op) program in the country with students earning $94 million annually through paid experiences, an academic health system, and as a member of the Big 12 Conference. The university contributes $10.6 billion in economic impact to the city and $22.7 billion to the state of Ohio.
The Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine invites applications for Program Director (PD) of the UC Health West Chester Family Medicine Residency (UC WCFMR). This is a full-time clinician educator and department leader position with 60% protected administrative time and a substantive clinical presence. The PD holds ACGME-delegated (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education) authority for the residency and reports directly to the Department Chair. Consistent with departmental structure, the Program Director serves as Division Director for the West Chester Residency division, with responsibility for faculty oversight, divisional strategy, and budget. Faculty rank commensurate with experience.
The UC WCFMR is the sole ACGME-accredited residency at UC Health West Chester Hospital, a community hospital staffed throughout by UC Health faculty specialists, with academic affiliation with the College of Medicine. The program enrolls six residents per year with ACGME approval to expand to eight, and trains across the full scope of family medicine: ambulatory continuity practice, adult inpatient medicine, and maternity care. Core rotations are on or adjacent to the West Chester campus; pediatric inpatient training is at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Liberty Campus. Community-based experiences include a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) school-based health center, university health, and the county health department. UC Health West Chester Hospital serves as the sponsoring institution for an ACGME-accredited Transitional Year Residency, for which the Family Medicine program serves as the designated parent program. The department also houses ACGME-accredited Geriatrics and Hospice/Palliative Care Fellowships at the West Chester site. Each program has its own Program Director. UC WCFMR graduated its first class in June 2026, anchored by a department with more than 50 years of graduate medical education history and the full academic and clinical resources of UC Health and UC College of Medicine.
